Lot Essay

The satinwood chairs display silk-figured tablets within fretted ribbon-guilloches, as featured in a French/antique patterned 'cabriolet' chair of 1802 published in Thomas Sheraton's The Cabinet Dictionary, 1803. In 1802 the St. Martin's Lane cabinet-maker Thomas Chippendale Junior (d. 1822) provided related cane-seated chairs of golden satinwood inlaid with Grecian-black 'tablet' fillets for Stourhead, Wiltshire (L. de Groer, Les Arts Decoratifs de 1790 à 1850, Paris, 1985, p. 25, fig. 36).
A set of ten chairs with almost the same design of back was sold anonymously, Christie's, New York, 13 April 2000, lot 162.
